Battle Royale at Blim, August 18th

Hey, folks... we'll be playing that most charming of antiauthoritarian dystopian exploitation films, BATTLE ROYALE, followed by it's ridiculously confused (but jaw-dropping) sequel, BATTLE ROYALE 2, at Blim on August 18th, starting at 8PM. The first film was the last completed feature by Japanese action auteur Kinji Fukasaku (also famed for THE YAKUZA PAPERS). See this month's Discorder for the Cinema Aspirant article on Fukasaku and be sure to pass on the news. My Blim events have been attended by next to no one!!! I will perhaps soon abandon ship!!!

About Me

Writer, aging punk, cinephile. Fan of the obscure and outside. ESL teacher, occasional used bookstore guy; zombie when the mood strikes me. Haven't been based in Vancouver for awhile now but "Alienated In The Metrotown Area" is an even worse blogname than I already have. And I still have ties to Maple Ridge (sigh).
